I have one small oak tree in my yard that I keep trimmed with my
regular chainsaw. I don't need a saw on a pole to trim my tree.

The neighbors oak tree is HUGE and I would have to buy one those saws
on a pole to cut back the branches that are hanging in my yard. The
poster is suggesting that the neighbor "might" buy one for me if I do
the work, instead of paying a service that would charge 100's to prune
the tree correctly.
